Cyborg 009 is a Super Famicom action game released by BEC on February 24, 1994, adapted from Shotaro Ishinomori’s sci-fi manga of the same name. It follows nine cyborg warriors fighting the evil Black Ghost organization. Players pick 3 of 8 playable cyborgs, each with unique abilities—002 flies, 003 has night vision, 004 fires bullets and rockets, 005 smashes rocks, 006 breathes fire, 007 shapeshifts, 008 fights underwater, 009 has super speed.
Before each mission, select a captain and two teammates to form a 3-person squad; switch between characters anytime to tackle challenges. All three share HP and SP, which depletes with special moves and regenerates slowly.
This side-scrolling game lets you use character skills to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and clear levels. Earn EXP to boost attack, defense, SP cap, and SP recovery post-mission.
Loved for its faithful manga adaptation and varied gameplay, Cyborg 009 is a classic must-try for SFC fans.
